Hasegawa Pro Boards (Soft & PE)
Hasegawa Pro boards (Soft FSR/FRK and PE FPEL) protect razor-thin Japanese edges while staying light, rigid, and easy to sanitize. Since 1955, Hasegawa Corporation has pushed material science from the ski slopes to the kitchen—resulting in soft-surface composite cutting boards trusted by Michelin-star chefs and passionate home cooks.
Why Chefs Prefer Hasegawa
- Edge-Safe Surface: Cushions knife edges to reduce micro-chips and keep blades sharper longer.
- Hygienic by Design: Non-porous, dishwasher- and bleach-safe for easy sanitation.
- Built for Work: Reinforced wood-core prevents warping; textured surface stays grippy even when wet.
- Sizes for Every Station: From compact prep to full service boards, including color-coded options.
Soft vs PE: Which Should I Choose?
- Pro-Soft (FSR / FRK): The softest, quietest feel—maximizes edge life and is ideal for Japanese knives and delicate prep.
- Pro-PE (FPEL): Slightly firmer surface for general prep; the black finish hides stains while staying knife-friendly.
